New! Vertigo Heli Motor

Castleís new Vertigo series of outrunner motors are the power plant your heli has been searching for.

Make 'em dizzy!

Whether youíre a professional pilot or a weekend stick jockey, Castleís new Vertigo series of outrunner motors are the power plant your heli has been searching for.

By using only the highest quality components and manufacturing methods, Castle engineers have been able to achieve efficiency rates surpassing the 90% mark, allowing you to fly for longer periods of time, perform the most extreme maneuvers, and do it all with extreme confidence. In addition, our high current CC Bullet connectors are pre-soldered to the wires ensuring the least amount of resistance between your ESC and motor. The case and fan of the Vertigo has also been designed to optimize heat dissipation and maximize airflow over the stator regardless of your flying style.

With bolt patterns to fit most 450 to 800 size helis, and paired with the new Castle Talon and Edge series of ESCs for optimal performance, everyone is capable of feeling Vertigo.

Castle made a few Vertigo motors a couple of years and I have one. I didn’t think it was a very good motor and don’t fly it any more. It was not nearly as good as Scorpion. I sure hope that they have improved the design.

If that little weight makes any difference in your 450 ) OR 700 ( then you're doing something wrong. Looks to me like they are making them to LAST, rather than to leave sheared shafts. There is a penalty for more endurance, and for more resistance to POWER. It is called weight. The difference will be worth it.

I think this is the benchmark a lot of people are going to apply. I have had output shafts break on early Align (430L) motors, but not once on Scorpion II 2221-8's. The 500-size Scorpions are pretty much bulletproof with 5 mm output shafts.

It will be interesting to see who actually buys the Vertigo. Doubtlessly we will see some reviews here if they do,.
